Thank you all! I tested it and it works! But is there a solution for a chord with different note heads (the drummer plays the bass drum and a tom-tom simultaneously). I tried: cr = { \property Voice.NoteHead \set #'style = #'cross } tria = { \property Voice.NoteHead \set #'style = #'triangle } ... <\cr d \tria f> but both notes are triangles :-( Furthermore: As I made an error in LilyPond installation procedure I incidentally saw a 4rd symbol: It was simply a fat line. So I assume there is still a 4rd drum symbol hidden somewhere in LilyPond.(?) -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
